Hey all,
Just wrote my level 1 CFA exam this past December and passed with over 70% in every category. Life has got me by the balls right now and I haven’t followed through and registered for this upcoming June level 2 exam as planned.
Going into the the L1 exam I knew the material extremely well but have forgotten a lot of it since then. Now with plans to write L2 in June 2011, I am wondering if forgetting the material from L1 is going to hurt me in preparing for L2. I am wondering if the L2 material leaves off where L1 material stopped or if there is some overlap that will give candidates a refresher/review of the need to know material from L1.
I have also heard of review packages that help candidates make the transition from level 1 to level 2……anyone use these or have an opinion whether they are beneficial or not?
Any feedback would be appreciated……and good luck to all those writing this coming June!作者: giorgio10 时间: 2013-4-17 19:35
seems that there is some overlap within stuff like equity, a little bit in PM, some of the derivatives, plenty on ethics - at least in the schweser they review the concepts again from L1 when necessary.
I took L1 in Dec too, so it was a little more fresh, but i wouldnt recommend spending time studying l1 stuff作者: zbird2134 时间: 2013-4-17 19:36
if you buy schweser L2, they throw in a L1 refresher book, almost like a secret sauce
